APC SRT1500XLA - Smart-UPS On-Line 1500VA/1350W Tower

Overview

The APC SRT1500XLA provides 1500VA / 1350W of reliable, double-conversion online protection in a compact tower form. Designed for critical IT and network hardware, it delivers pure sine wave power, advanced monitoring, and energy-efficient operation, ensuring continuity for essential workloads.

Key Features & Benefits

• 1500VA / 1350W Output: Ideal for protecting servers, storage, and network devices.
• Online Double Conversion: Clean sine wave power independent of utility fluctuations.
• Tower Design with 120V: Space-saving vertical installation for office or IT environments.
• 6x NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Flexible distribution for common IT loads.
• SmartSlot Expansion: Supports optional management cards for remote monitoring.

Technical Deep Dive

Built on double-conversion online topology, the SRT1500XLA isolates sensitive equipment from power disturbances. The inverter continuously regenerates output, providing a pure sine wave waveform even under poor input conditions. With <2% harmonic distortion and a 3:1 crest factor, it meets the demands of sensitive IT loads.

The 48V lead-acid battery system supports hot-swappable replacement and delivers a typical recharge time of 3 hours. Integrated alarms—audible and visible—are prioritized by severity, ensuring timely response to conditions that may impact availability.

Through SmartSlot expandability, this UPS can integrate with optional APC management cards for SNMP monitoring, environmental sensors, and centralized oversight. Combined with ENERGY STAR V2.0 certification, it balances performance with efficiency.

Ideal Applications

• Small to medium server deployments
• Network hardware in branch or office environments
• Retail systems requiring uninterrupted uptime
• Healthcare and education IT infrastructure
